What the heck? This is a big airspace closure in New Mexico for no known reason.
It doesn’t help that the guy answering the provided FAA phone number for questions is telling the press (from the article) that he has no idea what’s going on.

Really impressive video of a Shahed being shot down by an F-16 fighter jet from the 107th Aviation Wing of the Ukrainian Air Force.
The interception was carried out using the aircraft’s M61A1 Vulcan onboard rotary cannon.

One of the great joys of watching Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, apart from the writing and performances, is the continued familiarity and relevance of the storylines. Take this episode from series one of Yes Prime Minister, for instance, called One of Us.Remind you of anything? 🫢If you'd like to watch the whole episode it's on BBC iPlayer. Or, if you're from overseas, try Daily Motion.By the way, if you haven't subscribed to my new YouTube channel yet, please do. It's called @jameshoggwriter and there's a link in my linktree thing.I trust you're having an enjoyable weekend.
